b. 1982, London, UK

Navine G. Dossos interests include Orientalism in the digital realm, geometry as information and decoration, image calibration, and aniconism (the absence of figurative representations of sacred or living beings). Drawing on the traditional techniques of Islamic art, classical painterly training, and the aesthetics of the digital age, her paintings emerge from a philosophy of the image that extends beyond the iconic and the decorative, into the political stakes of contemporary life. 

Dossos’ works often respond to a political sense of place, manifesting in murals and site-specific installations that probe issues of identity, power, and geopolitics. There Is No Alternative (2019) subtly critiqued the UK government’s anti-terrorism policies, reflecting on their violation of identity, community, and political resistance. In her series Converts (2015) and No Such Organisation (2020), Dossos developed a unique visual language of patterns, motifs, and symbols, capturing the intersection of digital media and political discourse.

Navine G. Dossos has exhibited and worked with various institutions, including The 4th Istanbul Design Biennial; SALT, Istanbul; The Delfina Foundation, London; The Museum of Islamic Art, Doha; Z33, Hasselt; Leighton House Museum, London; and the A.M. Qattan Foundation, Ramallah. She is a member of the Substantial Motion Research Network, an international research platform of scholars and practitioners interested in the cross-cultural exploration of digital media and philosophy.
